Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' This waterfront beach house is a great escape. Breathe in the fresh air of the forest to the back of the house and the Puget Sound to the front. Listen to the waves splash onto the shore or the water trickle down the forested hillside. You are sure to love this beach house! The views are absolutely amazing. You see views from every room: Mt. Rainier, Point Defiance, the south end of Vashon Island, the Vashon-Tacoma ferry route, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and Commencement Bay. The home is located on the south end of Colvos Passage, just an easy five-minute drive from Gig Harbor’s downtown and marina. Gig Harbor is a perfectly charming town with several parks and a historic waterfront that includes boutiques, coffee shops, dining, and a marina. This 1925 beach house has all the charm of a cabin with the comforts of home. Step right out the front door onto the huge deck equipped with chairs, benches, and a barbecue. Relax with a cocktail or book, watch maritime traffic, or keep a lookout for seals, birds, otters, sea lions, and even whales. The stairs from the deck lead directly to the sand and the small rock beach below. At high tide, the water meets the bulkhead below the deck and you feel like you are on a houseboat. At low tide, you are able to walk the beach to collect shells and rocks. The house is within walking distance from Sunrise Beach Park, which is said to be one of the best shore dives in Puget Sound. The main feature of this site is a 25-foot high rock wall that runs parallel to the shoreline. The top of the wall starts at about 35 fsw with the base at about 60 fsw. The wall is full of cracks, crevices, fissures, and holes which are hiding places for a plethora of curious critters. There is an open living room, dining area, and kitchen which makes it feel spacious and comfortable. One bedroom with a queen bed is in the main house. There is also a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room that is easy to assemble. Things to Know High-speed WiFi for remote workers and online students! Full kitchen (no dishwasher) Please note that this home requires a short walk from the parking area. The secluded Sunrise Beach neighborhood, which consists of about 20 waterfront homes, was originally only reached by boat/ferry. Today there is a road and path that brings you to the homes. To reach our house you park on the road above and walk on a waterfront pathway about the length of one city block. It is worth the walk! The bunkhouse does not have a bathroom and is not suitable for younger children to sleep without an adult. However, it is comfortable and safe for adults and older children. Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles. Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit. More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page. Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 25 years of age to book. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport -

Kitchen sink overlooks the water view. Traditional west coast beach house, neighbors were both so kind. It's about two city blocks, from parking to the property, but worth every step!! ##### John M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Olivia G. 13 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Pictures of listing need to accurate! Views are stunning!! The cabin is not suitable for children due to the deck railing needing maintenance. The 2nd room is completely detached from the main cabin. The online pictures do not represent the current condition of the cabin. The cabin needs to be updated and deep cleaned! Sheets need to be changed for all new guests. Linens smelled and overall the cabin had a strong filth smell. The distance from where you're allowed to park your car is steep and long walk; making it difficult for handicap, elderly and drop off your personal belongings. Best to arrive before dark to find the cabin. ##### Olivia G.

Beautiful views but property was not vacumed/swept. And no hot water first day despite remote troubleshooting with Vacasa and following instructions for on-demand w/h. Vacasa property manager contacts wrong in property manual. Spent multiple calls trying to rectify. TV brightness pulses despite turning adaptive brightness off. And heed warnings on steep 1 block downhill path and another block along the sound...difficult to manage with more than light luggage. ##### John H.

The property/house itself is average and very inconvenient to get to from where you are permitted to park. Wagons and wheel barrows are made available to help transport luggage, etc. to the house from your car as you negotiate a very steep and winding sidewalk. ##### John S. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim L. 6 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful and Unique The house was cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the porch. When the tide was up, we'd have our coffee and beer with the sea lions, seals and gulls. We even saw a bald eagle catch a fish right in front of us. During low tide we walked the beach looking at shells, rocks and pikes of driftwood. The walk between the parking area and the house wasn't bad at all, but we had pretty good weather while we were there. I can see how this wouldn't be much fun if it was raining, you had a lot of luggage or groceries or if you weren't in decent shape. The only complaint we had is that the listing states that there is a wood burning stove, but guests aren't allowed to use it, which you don't learn until you check in and read the binder. The heater was more than sufficient to warm the home though. ##### Kim L. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2021 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer B. 17 Feb 2023 #### Amazing views! The view is unparalleled. Saw birds, otters, seals, jumping fish, dolphins in the distance. Ended up canceling other plans just to enjoy the sounds of water and nature. ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Michael W. 28 Nov 2022 #### Great location, great views This property is truly on the water. We had mostly good weather during Thanksgiving week and had awesome views of Mt. Rainier. We also saw sea lions and orcas off of the front deck. The walk to the house from the street parking was long, but not a dealbreaker. We packed light. We were able to take a number of day trips to Seattle and visit friends and family in Tacoma and Bainbridge Island easily from this location. Would definitely book this property again in the future. ##### Michael W.

There are a couple of things about this house that the potential renter should keep in mind: - There is no direct car access to this house. You have to park up on the main road near the dead end and walk down. Some descriptions say it only requires walking about a "block," but by our measurements it's about two city blocks. Not a big deal if you're in reasonably good shape, but don't plan on bringing a bunch of luggage. - Related to the first bullet, you'll find that nearly every house on this stretch has wheelbarrows or carts outside or on their porch (for hauling luggage and other supplies). The owner or property manager of this house would be well advised to make sure something similar is available for those who rent this house. - Lights outside the house on the deck don't seem to work - Lights on the walkway to the parking area are hit and miss. Don't plan on walking to/from your car at night unless you have a flashlight. The house had several flashlights in the cupboard but none had batteries. - The supplied WiFi is extremely weak. It won't even work on the outside deck, let alone the bunkhouse out back. If you keep these things in mind, this house could be a wonderful treasure for you. We really enjoyed our stay here! ##### Dominick S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ---
